TOBACCO-PIPE.

Application filed. May 28, 1

To all whom it may concern:

. e it known that we, Anonn L. DRAKE and l B. SMITH, citizens of theUnited Q States, and residents of Bellingham, in the county of ll hatcomand State of l l ashing ton, have invented certain new and useful 1Improvements in TobaccoPipes, of which the t'ollowing is aspecification.

(Fur invention relates to an improvement in tobacco pipes and consistsin separating the main body of the pipe in two sections on a medialsurface along the duct, and providing ready and secure means of joiningthe two sections together.

The object of our invention is to provide tor the quick and easycleaning of the pipe, j also to cool the smoke while it is yet in the 5duct: ot' the pipe. We accomplish these objects by the construction anddevices illustra d in the accompanying one sheet of C rawmgs in which tosimilar parts.

ll igure 1 is a partly sectionalized side elevation of a tobacco pipe.Fig. 2 is a plan view of a separable portion of the same. Fig. 3 is anend elevation of a transverse 1 plane through the line 7 3 similarcharacters re't'er 1 section on a Fig. l.

1 is the main part or body of the pipe. 2 is the lower partof the sameand is joined to the main body on a horizontal plane through the centerof the main duct 7, 8.

3 is a mouthpiece.

at is the ferrule which is slightly conical and is fastened to the stempart of the main body.

Centrally located in the lower part or the bowl is the pit 9. Betweenthis pit and the mouthpiece are the pits 11, 11, 11. She duct 13encompasses pit- 9 in part 2 and l enters duct T near the pits 11, 11,11. A

ire prong 5 is secured in part 2 in the bottom of pit 9, rises on anincline toward the right hand, lies in a groove in the side wall oi pit9, and reaches a groove .10 in f part 1 where its righthand end iscurved j downward. ll hen in operative position, the prong 5 engages ina staple 6 secured in part 1. The relation of prong and staple 6 aresuch that when part 2 registers with part 1. and these two parts areclosely pressed together, said prong has entered said staple as far asit can go. At the same time, the right hand end of part 2 has enteredthe conical ferrule 1- so far that this end of part 2 is also closelypressed against part 1.

Specification of Letters Patent.

same. the liquids which this groove before it j ticles of tobacco from Itace along the duct of 1 tion of said separable parts, one or more lpasses the bowl end of said 3 of the 1 i parts. said. prong engages withsaid Patented June 1, 1909.

e08 Serial No. 435,501.

When it is desired to remove part 2 from part 1, it is moved toward theleft hand position indicated in dotted outline at 2, when prong isdisengaged from staple G and the two parts may be separated. The objectof separating the pipe at this place is to afford ready means forthoroughly cleaning the The pits 9, 11, 11, 11 serve to retain areformed in the pipe when in use, and the duct 13 serves the same purpose.The groove serves to direct the prong into the staple and the curved endot the prong reaches the curved end of is quite home, thus pressing thisend of the prong downward against the staple. The location of the prongand staple in the duct 7, 8 serves the purpose of a screen in preventingfine parentering the mouthpiece. lVhc-n secured as shown in Fig. 1, thetwo parts 1 and 2 are united with practically an air tight joint.qowever, it is found desirable that a small amount of air enter the pipeat this joint as it serves to cool the smoke and cause the precipitationof the undesirable liquids therefrom.

Having thus described our invention, whatwe claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is,

1. in a tobacco pipe, separable into a major and a minor part on acommon surthe same, the combinapits or depressions in that portion ofthe duct in said minor part, and means for clamping said parts inoperative union.

3. in a tobacco pipe, separable into two parts on a conmion surfacealong the duct same, the combination of said sepparts, a staple orsimilar holding deattarhed to one oil said parts, and a irong or hookattached to the other of said staple are moved together on said arablevice when said parts common surface.
